Nina Chulak Oct 4, 2018:
Sofia, since you were asking for the "standard" or common way to translate the above, ethics committee (or council) regulations has about 58,700,000 results on google. That should speak to the fact that it is commonly used.
Dylan Edwards Oct 4, 2018:
Definitely "Regulations".
Evgeni Kushch Oct 4, 2018:
I go for "Regulations".
Sofia Gutkin (asker) Oct 4, 2018:
Council vs. Committee Not sure why everyone's been distracted by the Council vs. Committee debate when I was asking about Regulations vs. Provisions.

I always translate Совет по этике as Ethics Council so no arguments there.
Nina Chulak Oct 3, 2018:
I don't like "regulations ON" either, and it's not used very widely - only by Russian speakers, I think. But then again, I haven't seen "provisions" used that much either.
The Misha Oct 3, 2018:
Provisions on... That's how I usually translate such things. I have seen others use "Regulations on..." which to my American ears sounds a little stuck-up and alien. Naturally, there is nothing standard, here or elsewhere. Cheers, Sofia. Long time no see.

Thank you!
neutral Evgeni Kushch : Переводите к Council, это могут быть разные образования. Советом по этике называют группу при Министерстве здравоохранения РФ. / Это не значит, что в России не может быть своего органа, не характерного для для других стран, и наоборот.

An ethics committee is a body responsible for ensuring that medical experimentation and human research are carried out in an ethical manner in accordance with national and international law. What is an Ethics Council?
neutral Dylan Edwards : 'Ethics Committee' is 'Этический Комитет'. 'Совет по этике' is the Ethics Council. - My comment is based on experience: I see documents where 'Этический Комитет' and 'Совет по этике' are both mentioned and are clearly not the same.

There is not enough context provided, but I have never heard of an Ethics Council. The Ministry of Health also has an Ethics Committe. http://www.moh.govt.nz/notebook/nbbooks.nsf/0/5ee9b561282cac...$FILE/OperationalStandard_final.pdf
agree Michael Korovkin : or "statutes". "Council" – no way (IMO): it's a loan. As Dylan, I too never hearc of Ethics Council. But "committee", oh yes indeed!

Reference:

'ethics committee' and 'ethics council'

On the question of 'committee' versus 'council', there are many documents where 'Ethics Committee' and 'Ethics Council' are distinguished, for example:
Учитывая, что в России действует Совет по этике при Минздраве, а также функционируют ЛЭКи в каждом клиническом центре

Подробнее: https://pharmvestnik.ru/content/news/v-moskve-prodolzhaetsja...

(ЛЭКи are the local - локальные - ethics committees).
Note from asker:
I agree completely. Ethics Committees operate in every large healthcare facility, while the Ethics Council (as far as I understand) is the overarching body that "sits" with the Ministry of Healthcare of the RF.
